As a man I don’t give a shit who is peeing beside me but I understand that women do. A single bathroom with lots of floor to celling stalls with no huge American puritanical anti-privacy gaps and a separate area out of view for urinals would solve the problem. Sit down, stand up, whatever floats your boat. Keep your genitals out of view, wash your hands, and the problem is solved.
Historically the women got their own room because when nobody else is in that shared space it can be used like a dark alley or some bushes etc. I’m all for ungendered toilets but women’s safety is a serious concern, especially in places like clubs. The biggots usually don’t for keeping women safe, but their argument is valid.
And they are not only the problem in this situation. The fact they are barely mentioned in the discussion about toilets says a lot about what actually matters to the people making a fuss about the safety of (trans)woman in public bathrooms.

Yes, that’s the problem. It isn’t the trans women who are often more abused that cis women. The problem is the “alpha male” incel assholes.
